End Game

END GAME- Community Screenings and Discussion

Join us for special screenings of a Netflix Original Film End Game, a short documentary film directed by Academy Award winners Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein and was recently reviewed in the New York Times:

“A provocative and intimate look at how doctors, nurses and patients at two San Francisco Bay Area hospitals cope with death. Frank without ever becoming too gloomy, End Game urges viewers to think about our last days on Earth not as a heartbraking tragedy but as an opportunity for true closure.”

Gather with community members and clinical professionals as we discuss the topic of end of life care. Refreshments will be served and there is no cost to attend.
